BACKGROUND: The relationship between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between endometriosis and CVD risk, to examine whether the association was affected by ag…
BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a non-invasive therapy that combines low-frequency neurostimulation with the application of acupoints. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of TEAS for post-oper…
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. It is a lead…
INTRODUCTION: Graves' disease (GD) is a classical autoimmune disorder caused by interactions between genetic susceptibility and immune dysregulation. However, the transcriptomic mechanisms underlying disease relapse and remission, particula…
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Guizhi Fuling Wan (GZFLW), a canonical herbal formulation originating from Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, has been widely utilized in managing pain-associated disorders. While its therapeutic efficacy in ade…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Infertility is a pressing public health concern on a national scale and has been linked to inflammatory conditions. However, limited research has been conducted on the impact of the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII…
In various hyperproliferative disorders, damaged mitochondria can release mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm, activating the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and subsequent immune imbalances. Our previous research has demonstrated tha…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is a benign uterine disease characterized pathologically by the invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium. The pathogenesis of AM is still far from clear. Although the gut microbiome and metabolomics ar…
Asthma is a common disease that seriously threatens public health. With significant developments in bronchoscopy, different interventional pulmonology techniques for refractory asthma treatment have been developed. These technologies achiev…
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Recent studies indicate that endometrial hypoxia plays a critical role in adenomyosis (AM) development. Mitochondria are extremely sensitive to hypoxic damage, which can result in both morphological and functional impai…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present review is to analyze and summarize the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for adenomyosis according to largest studies available in current…
This study aimed to uncover effects of non-coding RNA transcripts on ovarian endometriosis (OEM) development. Two transcription datasets (GSE105764 and GSE105765) about OME were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and the…
Andrographolide derivatives or analogs exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects in several disease models through NF-κB activity. In this study, we synthesized different andrographolide derivatives and investigated their effects on the toll…
OBJECTIVES: The aim of study was to compare the accuracy between rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasound (RWC-TVS) and double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) in evaluating the bowel endometriosis presence as well as its extent. DESIGN A…
